An accessibility battle between a blind Sydney man and the organizers of the 2000 Olympic Games (SOCOG) came to a head, with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission finding that SOCOG had discriminated against Bruce Maguire by not developing an Olympics Web site that he could access properly.
SOCOG said it would ignore the order as its partner on the site, IBM Corp., said it would be too costly and time-consuming to bring the site up to the standard required.
